I am not what people would call artistic. And I don’t have an eye for decorating. If someone would just take my hand, walk me through Hobby Lobby and tell me exactly what I need and where to put it, they will have my eternal gratitude. But I really wanted to add to the large […]

I’m so excited to share with you an Advent idea I’ve had for awhile that, with the help of a designer friend, has become a reality! Advent isn’t just a countdown to Christmas, it’s a way to think on and celebrate how Jesus was prophesied throughout history and how His first coming fulfilled the law […]

I’m going to be real with you here. Whenever I see posts about simplifying or slowing down Christmas, I feel like crying. Because to be honest, the Christmas season is never NOT busy or fast-paced. It’s not that I’m upset with the people who write these articles, in fact it’s quite the opposite! I WISH […]

Does it ever feel like you’re constantly telling your kids to stop complaining? As a Christian parent, do you share Bible verses with them in the hopes that they will see how important it is to always be thankful and grateful and never grumble again….but it doesn’t seem to work? :) I think sometimes we can […]

Since we are rapidly approaching the month of November, I wanted to share what we are using for family devotions each morning as we “count down” to Thanksgiving! Right now, we are reading through our Story Bible at night, but it’s great to start the morning out with the Word as well! Many times our […]

How many times have your children been caught in a lie? They might be little white lies or “big whoppers” as my grandpa used to say, but it seems that most children go through a stage where they feel like they need to tell untruths, for various reasons. None of us is always perfectly honest. […]

Autumn is my FAVORITE season! But only since becoming an adult. As I kid, I used to love winter and freezing temps because it means snowmobiling and building snow forts (What can I say? I’m from North Dakota!) Now I’m happy to make fall last as long as possible and enjoy it as much as possible, […]
